Focus Group Facilitators – Equity in Career & Technical Education for Career Pathways Project

The goal of the Equity in Career and Technical Education (CTE) for Career Pathways project is to understand the impact of barriers to dual credit courses prior to post-secondary pathways to college and career. LEV will use both qualitative and quantitative data to provide recommendations on best practices for implementing the High School and Beyond Plan (HSBP) and access to dual credit opportunities. The report will be provided to state legislators, superintendents, parents, and K-12 stakeholders to inform policy and practices.

The Equity in CTE for Career Pathways project has a multi-tiered approach that includes outreach and learning, surveys, and site visits. The goal for this phase and this RFP of the Equity in CTE for Career Pathways is the development of up to 4 focus groups that include 25 high-school students and 10 parents from backgrounds that are traditionally under-represented (particularly non-Hispanic white students) in dual credit classes (such as AP, Running Start, and International Baccalaureate).
